Apple		—
Display11-inch Ultra Retina XDR; tandem OLED; 2420 × 1668, 264 ppi; ProMotion 10–120 Hz; P3 wide colour

Measured as a rectangle the diagonal is 11.1 inches; the viewable area is smaller.

Apple		11-inch 2560 × 1600 (WQXGA), 276 ppi LTPS TFT; up to 120Hz

LTPS TFT is an LCD panel type; unlike the AMOLED displays on the Tab S8+ and Ultra it uses a backlight. The adaptive refresh rate drops when content is still and can be locked to 60 Hz in settings. Rounded corners and the camera hole make the visible area slightly smaller than 11 inches.
